I don't say I am perfect,
I don't say I am white,
I too have my dark side,
That is shielded from the light.

I knew you wouldn't like it,
Wouldn't like the black in me,
But there is this dark beauty hidden in it,
Which I had hoped you would see.

With her fairy tale world falling apart,
I am but a mute doll,
I just wanted you to be there,
When I tried surviving the fall.

But you couldn't grasp, you didn't see,
The sparkling White that made the contrast be.

I forgive you,
Forgive you cause this was not meant to be,
As I pick up the sharp shards,
Which are all that is left of me.
